Making Tracks to Virginia City features on train, trackside and
locomotive scenes of today’s Virginia and Truckee Railroad. We
meet Bob and Tom Gray, founder and operator of the Railroad,
and Bob Gray describes the early years of the Railroad’s revival
between Virginia City and Gold Hill. There is a tour of the railroad
shops, a ride on the diesel powered trip to Gold Hill, and the film
concludes with a steam trip over the newly extended tracks from
the outskirts of Carson City.
The Virginia and Truckee Railroad connected Reno and Carson
City with Virginia City Nevada by 1872, bringing mining materials
in and taking silver and gold ore out, and was one of the most
famous short lines in America.
The recently reconstructed 10 mile section to Carson City
Eastgate Depot was funded through a combination of county,
state and federal grants totalling over $40 million. The line from
Gold Hill to near Carson City was reopened over 70 years after
it had been abandoned. Tracks are being extended further to
follow the Carson River.
